That being said AITI can you push to have this moved back to general discussion. This is great r&d and the data will be useful for anyone who intends on purchasing a DI motor in the future...

Thank you someone.

Yes, this should be in General Discussion. As I think a lot of members would like to see the results.

What brand catch can do you want brandX to be?

I would like to hear that it's made in America.

JantzenOKC · 07-23-2015, 02:22 PM

I don't get why brand x is so secretive unless it's RX that's behind all this, which wouldn't suprise me at all. Maybe Tracy is starting a new catch can company with a different name so he can get back on Camaro5. I just don't see the point of not revealing the company that makes it, especially if they are already a vendor on here.

Sure seems like some kind of sales tactic.

I keep thinking the same thing.

My next option was what brand of catch can? Well plenty on market what to choose from? Also I didn't want my valves corroding again. I decided to go with two catch cans, only because I came across and incredible opportunity. The biggest baddest moroso, and brandX... It kind of happened that way because at the time I had just hit 35000 miles and my 2011 Camaro v6 LS. I was in the market for a catch can when I herd about a great opportunity to work with a very large reputable performance company. I volunteered to perform an experiment for the brandX, who is not only one of the most respected companies on the market but also a supporting vendor of camaro5!!! I mean come on who in this world is gifted with an opportunity like this... After a few short emails I was hooked. I hightailed cross county recorded my milage aswell as driving conditions and avg. mph and mpg. Traveled neary 1300 miles to have cans installed. (Just felt I could use a little vacation/road trip or I would of installed myself) Will get into details latter. All I can say right now is I'm duplicating a test that was performed on a few other vehicles. I'm obtaining very similar results. Not only am I getting better mpg now I'm confident my valves will stay nice and neat looking. Here are some before and after images of the valves. I'm very excited that my car is running strong and staying healthy.
I will continue to add to this thread. I will drain each can and switch them around and provide amounts of oil collected by each can along with positioning. After a few tests and drains. I'll even pull my manifold back off and snap some shots of the valve to see if my valve have remained clean... Be back soon!

i chalked this up to a gimmic thread long ago but what kind of clown drives 1300 miles to have a catch can installed? so at minimum you have spent 150 on just fuel, likely more than the can. vacation or not this spells desperation on someones part.

Gee · 07-23-2015, 06:52 PM

LMAO Tracy? Is this you on a new account.

Black&WhiteEnvy · 07-23-2015, 06:54 PM

I went to see some some sick family for the 4th of July and the shop I used was only 20 mins away... Product was free along with installation... How could I refuse. Sorry I didn't put in the crappt details of my half assed vacation to see dieing family... Thanks haters....
Here is today's drainings... I will measure them when I get some time... Kind of obvious one did better than the other... Can you guess who?

SIXJAK · 07-24-2015, 08:50 AM

This thread is amazing. Subscribed. The tale just keeps getting better and better. I badly want this catchcan to be BrandX.

AITI · 07-24-2015, 10:53 AM

Kind of getting off track here.....the OP is doing a great job in testing, unless no one is interested in the difference between the cans offered. I vote Elite.

Black&WhiteEnvy · 07-24-2015, 12:31 PM

Well here we have some long awaited results... Took my measures and I'm quite irritated about a few things. To believe that this much oil is going to flow throug areas of my engine it should not have... Makes me

... Anyhow here is the moroso oz's totaling I'd say about 3.5 oz

Black&WhiteEnvy · 07-24-2015, 12:41 PM

Here it is! BrandX pulling through again... Nearing 5oz this draining. Quite impressive I must say.

Unfortinatly due to certain circumstances I will not be able to release brandX name at this time. Something with patient off and Hoover vacuums. Not sure. But the testing will go on.

Over this weekend I will remove and clean inside each can and re install making brandX now primary and moroso can secondary.... We will see how the results change. If any... Chuck back to you.

AITI · 07-24-2015, 03:13 PM

And to be clear, the BrandX is AFTER the Moroso did it's best? This is what all should be paying attention to IMHO. Not off track drama. Thx again for the effort to do this. Can't wait to see the reverse amounts now.
